This book, first published in 1990, is a provocative collection of
military quotations that captures the human essence of warfare.
From the skirmishes beneath the walls of Troy to the dropping of
the atomic bomb, nearly 3,500 quotations distil the experiences of
generations of soldiers, depicting the preparation for and the
waging of war. Read the words of field marshals and generals, kings
and dictators, and follow them into battle - Alexander the Great at
Issus, Wellington at Waterloo, Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn and
Montgomery at El Alamein. Here too are the recorded details of life
among the ranks as diverse as ammunition and uniform, sick parade
and comradeship, discipline and 'Dear John' letters. A final
section, 'Last Post', deals with the tragic aftermath of conflict.
